I took to the House floor to demand we protect Medicaid and SNAP against any cuts. This budget bill is immoral and I’m doing everything we can to stop these cuts.

No child should go hungry in the wealthiest country in the world. We need universal school meals. We need to end school lunch shaming. I'm fighting to ensure our kids get the nutrition they need to succeed.

I’m proud of my Somali heritage, proud of my faith, and beyond proud to be an American. P.S. To the president: no, you can’t impeach a member of Congress 😉

Trump's illegal military strikes in Venezuela aren't about drugs. They are about regime change. But we must be clear - only Congress has the authority to declare war. Not the president. We must pass our War Powers Resolution and re-establish Congress's power.

The president is doing what he does best: deflecting. He is attacking the Somali American community to hide the fact that he has failed to deliver on nearly all of his promises. But we are resilient and, despite the president's disgusting remarks, we will continue to thrive.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives. I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

Trump's oil blockade is strangling an entire nation. Families are going without food. Water systems are failing. Hospitals are struggling to stay open. This is economic warfare. I'm calling for an immediate end to this cruel and indefensible blockade. Hands off Cuba.

Hennepin County Medical Center is a lifeline—I know, three of my kids were born there. Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are pushing hospitals like HCMC to the brink. This is about whether people get care in a crisis. Minnesota cannot lose its safety net hospital.

We cannot build a just nation without directly confronting the inequities facing Black communities. As we celebrate African Heritage Day, let us recommit to equity, to justice, and to building a Minnesota where Black communities don’t just survive, but truly thrive.

Trump and Republicans gave ICE an $85 billion slush fund last year. ICE used that money to terrorize Black and Brown Minnesotans through "Operation Metro Surge." Now Republicans want to send this rogue agency another $70 billion. ICE shouldn't get another cent.

The Pedophile Protection Party tried everything to keep the Epstein Files from coming out. That's why we needed to pass a discharge petition to get a vote on the House Floor to get the truth out because GOP leadership refused to act. It's time for answers and transparency.

When you create policies that make education unreachable for Americans who want it, you are failing at your job. Linda McMahon is failing.
